Cutting board top island

Originally I started making the base of this cabinet for a recycling center, then we moved and that didn’t fit into the kitchen layout. Then I was going to transform it into an assembly table for the shop. Just as I was drawing up the plans for that my wife told me that she really wished we had an island in the kitchen….. I thought to myself PERFECT!!!

I chose to go with a butcher block top just to add a little character to my kitchen and since it was an island I didn’t necessarily need to match stain or color scheme to the rest of the kitchen, worked out perfectly!
